Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) not only relieves anginal pain in severe ischemic heart disease but also prevents possible future myocardial infarction and ischemic heart failure and prolongs life expectancy. There are two methods of coronary artery bypass surgery: “on-pump CABG,” in which a bypass anastomosis is constructed under cardiac arrest with a cardioplegic solution under the heart-lung machine, and “off-pump CABG,” in which the position of the heart is controlled and the anastomosis is performed with a local stabilizer while the heart is beating without circulatory support. In Japan, 50–60% of CABG are currently performed as off-pump CABG. The graft vessels used for bypass include arterial grafts (the internal thoracic artery, ITA; right gastroepiploic artery, GEA; and radial artery, RA) and the great saphenous vein. Types of grafts and surgical procedures are determined by surgeons and surgical teams according to the conditions of each patient.
